Re: Oxford University Part 1...

Jayden: Yeah. I do want to try to make the world a better place...I just don't know if I'm the guy to do it.

Pockets Tue Jul 12, 2011 10:24 pm

Jessica: Why don't you think you are? Don't just act humble here.

Cryonix Tue Jul 12, 2011 10:45 pm

Jayden: Oh, you know....I've always had this....inferiorty complex when it comes to my siblings and me. Sometimes it just....goes beyond that. Like, 'if I screw this up....how dissapointed will Uncle be in me'?

....am I no better than my father...

Jayden can't believe he just said that...

Pockets Tue Jul 12, 2011 10:49 pm

Jessica takes Jayden's hand.

Jessica: How would you screw up politics any more than they already are?

She smiles.

Jessica: And if you hadn't gone and stuck your neck out before, you would never have asked me out to begin with. Sometimes risks are good things to make.

Cryonix Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:29 pm

Jayden smiles at her...

Jayden: Actually....I asked you out a bunch of times, hon. I always got....'books won't read themselves...'

Pockets Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:30 pm

Jessica makes a face.

Jessica: That's beside the point....

Cryonix Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:32 pm

Jayden: I know...I know. It's just...I know how much my family has been dissapointed in a Cortez before. I just...couldn't live with myself if I saw my uncle and aunt end up feeling that way about me.

Pockets Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:33 pm

Jessica: From what little I've heard about your father, you seem nothing at all like him.

Cryonix Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:36 pm

Jayden smiles sadly...

Jayden: Thanks, Jess. Really.

Merlin comes running through the house to the front door, moments before there's a knock at it...

Pockets Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:43 pm

Jessica: He's aptly named... he knows there's someone at the door just before anyone is there....

She goes to see who it is.

Cryonix Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:46 pm

It's their neighbor from down the street, Jared. He's an older fellow, with a beautiful wife and two kids. He smiles as Jessica opens the door...

Jared: Good evening, Jessica. I was wondering if Jayden could take a look at my car. He helped out with it before. That is...if he's home...

Pockets Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:50 pm

Jessica: Come in. I'll see if he's available.

She walks back inside.

Jessica: Jayden? Jared wants to know if you could look at his car... I didn't know you were a mechanic.

Cryonix Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:54 pm

Jayden: Oh, heya Jared.

Jayden takes Jessica's hand...

Jayden: I do a lot of that kind of work on our rally cars, our dirt bikes and some of the other cars the family drives around. Engines have always...I don't know...calmed me down.

He kisses Jessica...

Jayden: Won't be a moment, hon.

Pockets Tue Jul 12, 2011 11:56 pm

Jessica: Alright....

She's left watching Jayden leave, confused.

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:04 am

Jayden quickly figures out the problem and helps fix the engine...

Jayden: ...and that's that. I figure you have another thousand kilometers before you have any other major problems...but you should get your car into a shop, before anything really bad happens.

Jared: You're an absolute marvel, Jayden. Listen...I have some friends with...the office of the Prime Minister...and I understand your name has been coming up a great deal.

Jayden: ....It has?

Jared: Yes. They say you have a bright future, Jayden. The Prime Minister himself is hoping...that you do come work for his office.

Jessica notices the two talking....and not about cars...

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:08 am

Jessica walks over to hear the conversation.

Jessica: It sounds like an amazing opportunity... not everyone can get the Prime Minister's backing.

She gives Jayden s pointed look.

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:17 am

Jayden: I was...just thinking that, myself actually.

Jared: I could...put in a word for you, if you'd like.

Jayden: So...wait...the Prime Minister of England...already knows me?

Jared: Oh yes. It's been...almost nonstop. I think he might be...and you didn't hear this from me....coming to visit you.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:20 am

Jessica looks panicked.

Jessica: Here? The Prime Minister is coming... here?

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:24 am

Jared: You didn't hear it from me, but...expect a visit.

Jayden: U.....um......wow.....alright...

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:32 am

Jessica looks a little shaken.

Jessica: I suppose we'll be getting a visit from the Queen next....

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:34 am

Jayden: With my luck, we'll have dinner at the palace...

Jared: Well....

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:35 am

Jessica goes bug-eyed.

Jessica: You're joking....

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:51 am

Jared: I'm just saying, don't rule anything out. Jayden, you know your family has great pull here...and since your nobility anyway, I figured...

Jayden: T...Thanks, Jared. I'll be sure to...keep my eyes open.

Pockets Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:56 am

Jessica: Well... you certainly have the connections for this....

Cryonix Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:58 am

Jayden walks hand in hand with her back to their house...

Jayden: Looks like its...headed in that direction, huh?
